Value Chains for Delocalized Wet feedstockstoAdvanced BioFuels integrating Renewable Fuels of Non Biological Origin Pathways

Objective

VALWARP will assess and improve decentralized, cost-effective, and low emission integrated advanced biofuel and RNFBO value chains with the potential to contribute to the longer term in high-biofuel demand and low availability biomass scenarios, enabling the use of dispersed or remote biomass. VALWARP value chain integrates the thermochemical conversion of wet waste feedstocks by Hydrothermal liquefaction with upgrading technologies for the biocrude, process water, process gas, and hydrochar. Aim is to improve the biorefineries’ value chain co-located within WWTP and AD to reduce processing and conversion time lag through technological improvement actively engaging stakeholders, to achieve full valorisation (zero waste) at net-zero emissions increasing the energy security and industrial competitiveness. Biogenic industrial sewage sludge and digestate will be converted into an upgraded biocrude (drop-in, SAF, diesel, and maritime) and (liquefied) bio-natural gas, (L)NG, thereby enabling the production of advanced biofuels for transport sector. It will also facilitate water recovery, soil amendment and nutrient recovery effectiveness of composted Hydrochar, promoting a farming in a fully circular economy.
